David Byrne Life Is Long Lyrics

Life Is Long Lyrics

Ev'rybody says that the living is easy

I can barely see ‘cause my head's
in the way

Tigers walk behind me- they are to remind me that

I'm
lost- but I'm not afraid



    Soul to soul- A kiss and a sigh

    Sawed in half- by the passage of time

    Halfway home- from a
window you see

    Chains and bars- but I am still free



People on the outside- I remember sweet times

This old rose- is always
in bloom

Ev'ryone is happy- to be a baby daddy

Stone love- with
nothing to lose



    Life is long- if you give it way

    So
stay, don't go- ‘cause I'm fading away

    Soul to soul- between you and
me

    Chain me down- but I am still free



Now I can say-
those three little words

And ev'ry day- I'm dreaming a world

Soul
to soul- a kiss and a sigh

Holding back- the waters outside.



    Life is long- if you give it way

    So stay, don't go- ‘cause I'm
fading away

    Soul to soul- between you and me

    Chain me down-
but I am still free
